Friday Fling #207, for November 23rd 2012
Thanksgiving is a time when we commemorate the Pilgrims’ achievement in beginning a successful colony in Massachusetts by following their lead at this time of year by more or less recreating the feast they held celebrating their survival and success. In the process of getting to that point and beyond, they taught us by their example valuable lessons in courage and perseverance which can always inspire.
So we thought it would be appropriate to write about some lesson you learned or one which which you believe can teach a valuable lesson.
There is a format which is specifically designed to teach lessons by telling a story with a “moral.” It’s called the Fable. It can be any length, and rhyme, flow or not. The only requirement is that it tells a story and ends with a “moral” or summarizes the lesson the storytelling was intended to teach.
This week the Friday Fling writes fables about life lessons!
Be sure to save time to read and comment thankfully on your fellow Pals’ fabulous fables. Then go shopping or whatever and see if it teaches you a valuable lesson!
